15 I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God’s wrath is finished. I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, his image,[a] and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,

“Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty!
    Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.
Who wouldn’t fear you, Lord,
    and glorify your name?
For you only are holy.
    For all the nations will come and worship before you.
    For your righteous acts have been revealed.”

After these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. The seven angels who had the seven plagues came out, clothed with pure, bright linen, and wearing golden sashes around their breasts.

One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.

Seven Angels with Seven Last Plagues

15 And I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels having seven plagues that are the last ones, because with them the wrath of God is completed. And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and his image and the number of his name were standing by[a] the glassy sea, holding harps from God. And they were singing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:

“Great and marvelous are your works,
    Lord God All-Powerful;
righteous and true are your ways,
    King of the ages![b]
Who would never fear, Lord,
    and glorify your name?
For only you are holy,
    because all the nations[c] will come
    and worship before you,
because your righteous deeds have been revealed.”

And after these things I looked, and the temple, the tent of the testimony in heaven, was opened, and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out from the temple, dressed in clean, bright linen garments, and girded with golden belts around their[d] chests. And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever[e], and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
